The Face Changing Warrior

Chapter Three Hundred and Fifteenth

The struggle between the empire and the gods began to gradually surface. Everyone has slowly torn away the last trace of fig leaf, and many contradictions have begun to openly on the table.

Pope Corsica VI has publicly declared that the empire's order to stop religious taxes is a challenge to the prestige of the religion and a disrespect to the gods. At the same time, the flame warrior group of the gods began to mobilize frequently.

But the old Skeleton did it even harder! He issued a decree in the name of the imperial emperor. In the empire, any place in the empire must be ordered by the command of the imperial command if the number of troops is more than one hundred. After the issuance of such an order, the movement of the flame warrior group of the gods was greatly restricted. In many places, the flame warrior group and the local garrison had hundreds of frictions. For a time, the empire was full of various News of all kinds of riots.

All the undercurrents are surging, and the Duke Tulip ordered that all Thor's Whips cancel all vacations and get ready to go!

The commander of the Northern Army, Marquis Roddy, ordered the Northern Army to cancel all vacations and get ready to go!

The commander of the Northwest Army, Count Ellio, ordered the Northwest Army to stand by on the spot, ready to go!

General Camus, commander of the Southern Army, ordered that the Southern Army mobilized two heavy cavalry regiments to move north to the Imperial Capital!

In the eastern part of the empire, where the religious forces are the most powerful, nearly 30,000 Flame Warriors have successfully broken through the blockade of the empire’s local garrison, gathered together, and occupied two medium-sized cities. The imperial officials there were expelled in the name of the order, and the city was temporarily taken over in the name of the religion!

The Empire is in an uproar!

"Did you know? Boy, among believers of any religion, they are composed of three groups of people!" The old skeleton smiled triumphantly, then slowly raised his fingers and said with a slow smile: "No. One kind, that is absolutely devout religious fanatics, these people will unconditionally finally believe in their own under any circumstances! Such a crowd is the toughest enemy for us... But fortunately, this number is absolutely absolute Not much! Among 10,000 believers, such fanatics may not be one percent! The second type of crowd is the kind of swinging, that is, although they believe in the religion, they are not fanatical in their hearts. Most People hold the attitude of'belief in spirit, unbelief in spirit'. Although such people seem to be very pious on weekdays, once their fundamental interests are involved, they will abandon their faith and protect their own interests! It is said that if they are asked to devote a very small part of their income to worship, they may be willing, but if they are asked to dedicate their wealth and names, these people will shrink back! Fortunately, The scandal of the religion that we brought out in Xilin Province has greatly reduced the loyalty of this group of people to the religion! This second group of people has the largest number of believers in the religion. They are the largest part of the religion. It can be said that such people account for almost 70% of the followers of the religion!"

The old skeleton paused, took a sigh of relief, and then continued: "The third group of people is the kind of hypocrites. Don't be surprised, this is normal! The gods have been operating in the empire for hundreds of years and have formed a climate. And scale. Believing in religious religion has become a habit and a trend! Many people originally did not believe in religion, but they saw that everyone around them were religious, so they became believers with the mentality of'joining in the fun'. The group of people also occupy a large part of the religion, but these people are also the lowest loyalty to the religion! Once the empire and the religion break, they will consider their own interests, and they will abandon the religion without hesitation!"

Roddy nodded and said with a smile: "So, although the cult claims to have tens of millions of followers in the empire, it is not terrible!"

"That's right." Old Skull said with a smile: "The tens of millions of believers are just an imaginary number. Once the empire breaks with the religion, there will be no more than hundreds of thousands of people who are willing to follow the religion and cause chaos. Among these hundreds of thousands, the real Flame Warriors only occupies less than half of the number, and the others are just ignorant civilians! As long as we use Thunder's means... it is not difficult to solve!"

Roddy was silent for a while and whispered: "But this is hundreds of thousands of people after all... After such a riot, I don't know how many people will die, how many families..."

The old skeleton shook his head: "The religion has become a huge cancer in the empire! If you don't take this opportunity to completely solve it, it will be more difficult to get rid of it when its power is further expanded in the future and its foundation is deep. Now! Roland Continent is the best example!"

Seth sat in the corner. He kept looking out the window and seemed to be smiling. He turned his head when he heard the words of the two of them. He looked at the old skeleton: "I think we still need a hands-on fuse! what do you say?"

"Already!" Andy took out a military bulletin from his sleeve.

General Zhang Kamiu of the Southern Army reported as follows:

On the order of His Majesty the Emperor, the Southern Army Corps began a large-scale search of all religious houses and churches in the three southern provinces three days ago, and together they discovered a large amount of gold coins of unidentified origin of 1.19 million gold! The contract value of the real estate field of unknown origin is 2.2 million gold coins! Arrested three local bishops of religious religions, nine senior clergy, 28 intermediate clergy, and 160 low-level clergy. During the search, the Southern Army Corps and the Flame Warriors clashed. Six hundred and twenty soldiers were killed and wounded in the Southern Army. Among them, one hundred and ninety were killed, 300 were seriously injured, and 130 were slightly injured. One thousand and eighty people in the Flame Warriors were killed and two thousand and six hundred were captured! General Camus, the commander of the Southern Army, reported to your Majesty that the situation in the south was chaotic, the religious cults instigated civilian riots, and there have been twenty friction incidents between the Flame Warriors and the imperial local garrison...

"Look, is this fuse enough?" The old skeleton smiled and took out another thing: "This is the order I have drawn up. I am going to send someone to the south today!"

"We hereby order General Camus, commander of the Southern Army, to order the southern three provinces to be a theater of war and implement wartime regulations in view of the increasing riots in the three southern provinces! The commander of the Southern Army, General Camus, is appointed as the highest commander of the theater! All religious activities of the gods are temporarily banned in the three provinces! General Camus, commander of the Southern Army, has the right to cut and kill!" Roddy finished the order gently, sighed, and shook his head: "It seems you are preparing Do it in the South first? But yes, the commander of the Camus Army in the South has rich experience, outstanding ability, high prestige in the South, loyalty to the empire, and is not a believer at the same time. He is a very good candidate."

"That's not enough!" Sete suddenly interrupted, "How is the state of the religious institute in the imperial capital now? Isn't Corsica VI doing anything else?" He seemed to sneer: "Waiting for your order After being sent to the south, the civil war broke out! Corsica VI will definitely leave the imperial capital immediately and go to the eastern part of the empire controlled by the religious forces!"

Having said that, the three of them looked at each other a few times, and then the three of them whispered at the same time: "The first is the best! Kill him!"

Old Skeleton smiled and said: "The old Pope's surrendering technique is not a joke. Even a domain expert may not be his opponent. We have to discuss this matter carefully..."

Roddy showed a bit of hatred in his eyes, and said indifferently: "We have fat guys in this field, as well as me, Princess Ruolan, a sword paladin, a paladin, and Heisha is a great practitioner, and an old man. Mark. Can always kill that guy!"

Sai Fei nodded and said: "But we can't do it in the imperial capital! We can kill it halfway, and then..."

The old skeleton smiled smirkly: "Then put the accusation on the blood..."

Seth looked at the old skeleton's face and smiled and said, "Of course, um... it's better for us to disclose the news to the blood clan beforehand, so that they can do their best..."

Two despicable and shameless conspirators, an old and a young man, started their plans. Roddy was bored and stood up and left to find a fat man to practice martial arts.

In the imperial capital, the core of the imperial religion, the inner hall of the imperial religious institute.

Pope Corsica VI is obviously much older, his eyes seem to be slightly closed, but there is a hint of brilliance in his occasional gaze.

In front of him sat several senior elders in white clothes.

"The development of the matter is already obvious. The empire is going to act on us this time!" The pope finally opened his mouth, his voice a bit of faint anger: "The civil strife in the northern Roland people seems to remind the imperial royal family, they I want to take this opportunity to eradicate the religion."

"Your Majesty the Pope." An elder said: "It is meaningless for us to stay in the imperial capital. Now in the eastern part of the imperial our Fire Fifty Regiment has already occupied two cities and controlled a province. We can take advantage of it. Now that the royal family hasn't publicly turned their faces with us, go there immediately! Then establish a parish there and fight against the empire!"

"Yes!" Another elder also said: "The religion has the deepest foundation in the east! We have countless devout believers in the east, as well as tens of thousands of brave flame warriors! We should go there immediately, and then to the entire empire Inform the imperial royal family of the sin of betraying the gods! Then set off a great holy war to defend the gods!"

Pope Corsica VI finally opened his eyes, his gaze swept across the crowd slowly, and he sighed: "Is this what you mean?"

Everyone was silent, but they looked at the Pope without shy.

"Okay!" Corsica VI stood up and waved the staff in his hand: "Since they want to war, we will give them war! Proclaim my teachings and declare the Emperor of Light as a blasphemous heresy. All the believers in the empire will fight against heretics under the leadership of the religion!"

After a pause, he whispered: "We will leave the imperial capital tomorrow! My teaching plan will be released in three days."
